Inspection
Front Brake Disc ThicknessCheck
1. Check the brake pads for wear and fade. 2. Check the brake disc for damage and cracks. 3. Remove all rust and contamination from the surface, and measure the disc thickness at 8 points, atleast, of same distance (5mm) from the brake disc outer circle. Brake disc thickness Standard: 26mm (1.02in) Service limit: 24.4mm (0.96in) Deviation: Less than 0.005mm (0.0002in)

Front Brake PadCheck
1. Check the pad wear. Measure the pad thickness and replace it, if it is less than the specified value. Pad thickness Standard value : 11mm (0.43in) Service limit : 2.0mm (0.0787in) 2. Check thatgrease is applied, to sliding contact points and the pad and backing metal for damage.

4. If wear exceeds the limit, replace the discs and pad assembly left and right of the vehicle.Front Brake Disc Runout Check
1. Place a dial gauge about 5mm (0.2 in.) from the outer circumference of the brake disc, and measure the runout of the disc. Brake disc runout Limit : 0.04mm...
